The problem I had with these messages isn't the content of them. See, my brain tells me that sort of thing all the time. And that's something I've been a bit open about lately.

The problem is that, somewhere here, there is someone saying the same thing that my brain tells me all the time. Is it someone who I know dislikes me already? Is it someone who I trust and respect? Or is it just a random person who I've never talked to. There's no way to know.

I've been told to leave before, but that was always done to my face, where I knew that the person in question had issues with me. That's easy to shake off.

When it's an unknown though... How do I know who to trust and who's playing me behind my back.... And how do I expect to stay somewhere when someone obviously is...

I just don't know.

Ive never hesitated telling you off up front when we've disagreed. I'm like that, lol.
You want an honest opinion, or just wanting to chew, you know how to contact me. I don't coddle btw...

Unattributed cowardice...that's worthy of a rant. It should be BELOW any of us, as it is CERTAINLY below someone aspiring to be a Jedi.

Also, I'd like to point out the very transparent attempt to mask sentence structuring as a way to ensure anonymity.

This coward understood that word choice and sentence structure were the only ways she could narrow down the venom source.

You'll need to stay vigilant, coward.

Jedi Knight

The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.

Isnt there something in the doctrine about ... removing our masks?

I wouldnt bother too much over the opinion of someone who is hiding under the mask of anonymity.
Especially when they are throwing around charges of not being a good jedi.

People are complicated.

I may be new here, but I do know that judgement based on rank has hurt people here in the past. Just because you're not a knight doesn't mean you are ignorant. Just because you are a knight doesn't mean you know it all. It means you have been recognized for your growth (and have done the work), nothing more, nothing less. Let's stop judging people based on their rank. Okay? Thanks.

Sometimes I wonder whether our government is cruel on purpose.

Trump just said there were some "very fine people" among the white supremacists and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. And it still won't be enough to convince his supporters that he's a terrible President. The level of stupidity of this country makes me so angry and I can't do a thing about it.

$600 difference between getting textbooks through on campus (just under $750 for 3 books) vs a non-university affiliated provider (less than $100 for 3 books)....

Yup....
